Have you cleaned up the soda spewed all over your keyboard yet? Good. Reading blogs does carry certain risks you know.
When I saw this photo over at Dyspeptic Mutterings, I just had to share it here.

Look, I’m sick and tired of being one of the twentieth century’s most enduring icons of evil!
“If only you knew the power of the Cute Side.”
“I am altering the merchandising deal. Pray that I don’t alter it further.”
Queer eye for the straight Darth
Imam Vader?
“Honey, did you take my suit to that Wookiee dry cleaners on Yavin 4? YES, sweetie I know they’re cheap but…”
“How do I look from this angle?… Thanks, Iwas going for that new Metro-sithual look!”
Barf Vader, Pink Lord of the (Litter) Sift
“The farce is strong with this one.”
Now the transformation is complete.
The Womanpriest vestments for Ordinary Time
“Leia, no daughter of mine is going out like THAT!”
Does this outfit make my thighs look fat?
Next on Fox… Extreme Makeover, Sith style.
Darth Faye Baker
Who needs a chapel veil?
“You don’t wanna see Luke!”
Darth Gayder 😉
“I like really want those Death Star plans back, ok?!” sheeeh…kwahh…sheeeh…kwahh
“Nooooooooooooooo!”
How things may have turned out had he kept the name “Anny”.
“What? Oh, like YOU’D wear all black on a desert planet with two suns.”
OOHH it’s Darth Kitty, Lukes long lost auntie from the dark side.
“Search your feelings. You know it to be true.”
Updated special effects.
Bigger explosions.
Greedo shooting first.
…
Now presenting the new digitally re-re-re-mastered version.
(With never-before-seen footage filmed entirely on location in West Hollywood.)
“Look, I know what I said before, but I am your MOTHER!”
SGD, I ’bout snorted tea out my nose! WAY too funny!
Um . . . I’ve actually seen this in person. (Should I even admit this?) At the Star Wars Celebration 3 in Indy in April 2006 (or was it May?). I think the Hello Kitty closes the deal on this one. When seen in the flesh, (or should that be *in the pastel*?), one doesn’t simply view the costume so much as one gapes openly.
You should see the Sith Jar-Jar! Now, that’s comedy!
I know that black is thinning…but seriously, do I look fat in these?
Which way to ‘The Call to Action’ conference?
“Mr. Vader? Yes I’m sorry to report that our camras are not working right.”

There are some hilarious captions here, but this one is hands-down my favorite:
“Search your feelings. You know it to be true.”
I laughed out loud at that one, and just had to comment on it.
Thanks Gene! (Jared, I thought of “Noooooooo!!!” too, but ended up not doing it, so I’m glad someone did!)
“the power of the Cute Side.” Perfect. As are all the other captions.
The Force is with you, young Skywalker, but you are not FABULOUS yet!
When Labor Day comes the Emperor will let me wear black again.
Darth Kitty, Pastel Lord of the Sith.
“Why Father, is it Gaudete Sunday already?!”
“You should see the other guy.”
I’m wondering whether the Easter Bunny beat up Vader or vice versa…
Ghouls just wanna have fun.
The kinder, gentler Vader.
48 y/o n/s gender curious Sith Lord seeking darkside fun, companionship, and more. Send photo and description of likes/dislikes. Will answer all earnest replies.
No-one saw this costume live – it was an entry in a photoshop competition:

You thought Michael Jackson’s transformation was startling.
Impressive. Most impressive.
“And I plan to turn the Millenium Falcon into a dress shop.”
Vader’s Easter Outfit.
What the well-dressed Sith Lord will be wearing to this year’s rebellion-crushing.
“I sense a great disturbance in the Force.”
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy… and wardrobe malfunctions.

Paparazzi photos of Sir Elton crashing the “Revenge of the Sith” premier….priceless!
Why you should ALWAYS sort the colors from the darks!
Brokeback Planet
“I’ve got a baaaaaad feeling about this.”
After Leia turned to the dark side (in the alternate ending to episode VI), she gave daddy a make-over, including giving him a PINK lightsaber.
“I could write a sonnet about your Easter helmet
“And on the Jedi I’m taking to the Easter parade!”
“You don’t know the power of the pastel side…”
“Darth Vader. Only you could be so chic.”
Episode VII – “Revenge of the Sissies”
Vader in Paris
“The last time I felt like this was in the presence of my old master.”
“If this is the evening gown competition, I’d hate to see the swimsuit competition.”
“Vader’s original Hoth outfit”
“Today will be a day long remembered. It has seen the death of Kenobi, and will soon see the end of…What? What are you staring at?”
“And now, your highness, we will discuss the location of your hidden rebel base…and they better have a Fashion Barn!”
“Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of being really, really, rediculously good looking.”
Commander, tear this ship apart until you’ve found those pants! And bring me the passengers, I want their pants too!
I’ve been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I met you I was but the learner. Now, *I* am the master.
Obi-Wan: Only a master of fashion, Darth.
“The Emperor is not as flaming as I am.”
“You must unlearn what you have learned.” “Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your wardrobe, consume you it will…”
Yoda-
And this one doesn’t need to change to be funny…
“A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind.”
I know they’re from Yoda, but they just work…
“Look at me. Judge me by my outfit do you? And well you do not…for the Force is my ally”
“No! No difference! Only different in your mind”
“For 800 years have I trained Jedi…my own council will I keep on what colors are to be worn”
DARTH MOEDER.
(Sorry, you may have to work for this one…)
Fire up the Death Star boys!!!…we’re taking out Tatooine!!!…when will I learn not to pass-out in a bar filled with Jawas…disgusting creatures!”
He’s turned to the lavender side of the Force.
Episode VII—Vader comes back on the “Bright” side of the Force. OR…..
You know what Padme would have looked like if she followed her husband! OR…..
Star Wars executive planing meeting _1970s_ Gorge Lucas_ (Shows poster of Vader) “I had a dream last night of this horrible figure who was trying to stop the Easter Bunny. What do you guys think?”
Padme, you hay som splaineen to do!
Cris I don’t get it but I really want to could you explain?
Chris-2-4: I second what Allena wrote. What?
Chris 2-4:
Is that a thea beckman joke?
if so, I like it!
JD: Huh? Dang it! I hate being left out.
perhaps I just read too far into Christopher’s comments. Maybe he is just dutch.
Pronounce his comment a few times, and consider the particular inflections of a heavy dutch accent.
Your Honor, the couple cites an irretrievable breakdown in their marriage. Ms. Skywalker
(formerly Amadalla), was pregnant with the parties first offspring, when Mr. Skywalker changed his name to “Darth” and began sowing his “wild oats”
“Vader” is roughly Dutch for “Father” as “Moeder” is for “Mother”…
I’m not Dutch though…
Vader is still serving penance for his atrocities.
and my mouth waters as I see Darth Vader statue made out of salt water taffy…. mmmmm
+J.M.J+
I’d like to write something really witty and funny, but every time I look at that photo all I can think about is white chocolate and strawberry ice cream.
Can you tell I’m on a diet? 🙂
In Jesu et Maria,
Fr. Stephanos, I’m glad I wasn’t drinking water when I read your post! ROFL.
This picture has ruined the greatest movie villian of all time. I can never look at Darth Vader the same way again.
BTW, the “Darth Gayder” comment made me laugh out loud…
I am reminded of the scene in the “Birdcage” when Robin Williams is trying to teach Nathan Lane to walk like a man. Nathan Lane walks just like John Wayne and you REALIZE John Wayne is a swish.
Now I’ve seen Darth Vader as a swish.
Pepto Vader
I’m a vagina.
Obi-Wan: I hate it when he does that…
The circle is now complete. I was but the learner, now I am fabulous!
GAY LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What?! You can’t take me seriously?!! How dare you?! You don’t know the power of ‘Hello Kitty’!!
